Abstract

A lot has been studied about male sexual dysfunction but only few studies have been conducted on female sexual dysfunction so far. Our study aimed to explore sexual dysfunction among female psychiatric patients suffering from Generalized Anxiety disorder (GAD) and among healthy controls.we compared 27 GAD patients with 100 healthy matched controls using FSFI scale.
Chi square and T test was used for statistical analysis. Prevalence of sexual dysfunction was significantly higher in GAD patients as compared to healthy controls. In conclusion, with such an alarmingly high prevalence of sexual dysfunction among psychiatry patients it is important to consider patient’s sexual life while investigating.
